flask-jwt tokens from server side does not get decoded in angular-jwt on client side about flask-jwt HOT 5 OPEN

Hey, the JWT is base64 encoded, so you'd need to use a base64 decode to get the information stored in the first two parts of the JWT (the 3rd part is the secure sign).

So, for your example (https://www.base64decode.org/):
The first part of the JWT gives ('part' being the data up to the first period)
{"alg":"HS256","exp":1432115032,"iat":1432115002}

And the second part gives (between first period and second period)
{"user_id":1}

Here is a good discussion of JWT structure: https://developer.atlassian.com/static/connect/docs/latest/concepts/understanding-jwt.html

So, your JWT helper needs to do a base64 decode, and then parse JSON structures to give you what you want.

Please note that due to using itsdangerous under the hood, there are a few quirks where data is stored, see: #40

Also, to make your life easier, consider using Satellizer (https://github.com/sahat/satellizer) - handles a lot of the grunt stuff behind the scenes.

@hussaintamboli was definitely having the same problem as issue #40. BTW, he isn't trying to decode the JWT himself; jwtHelper is from angular-jwt (an angularjs module). The issue is that jwtHelper looks for the exp field in the payload, not in the header where flask-jwt is putting it.

Care to upgrade and see how things go?

Sure. I'll do that and let you know.
